We are so thankful this Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was a great day. We were able to spend it with both sides of the family and make 2 trips to the hospital to see our precious baby.

The nurse surprised us by dressing her in a onesie we had in her cabinet for when she got bigger. Well now she can be dressed everyday!!!!! This is so great for me. She looks less like she's in a hospital and more like a baby. And to my surprise, she actually fills out the clothes pretty well!! They are preemie size, but that is for 3-5 pounds. By the way, we are now 2 pounds 14 ounces! 1301 grams.

Last night we had our first attempt at nursing. They said they around 34 weeks is when that should happen. Well since Briella was so premature, they wanted to give her 30 minutes a day to just try to figure it out. Not expecting her to know how for weeks. Well of course my baby does great the first time! The nurse said she is light years ahead of most babies. I said I expect nothing less :)

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and feels as blessed as we do. Next year Briella will be eating mashed potatoes with us at Thanksgiving!
